Bad Report!

I was talking around a few days ago when i stumbled on an X owner and she said the following: I hate my excursion, it is too big and i have to spend 50+ just to fill the huge tank and it still don't do squat fuel wise. The V8( 5.4L ) sucks in power and the 2WD has poor steering. She said that she was gonna buy a Suburban ( Yukon ) when she gets ready to buy again! What can i tell her to let her see the error in her ways?
Later,
F350 555

Sounds like she bought too much vehicle for her needs and didn't select appropriate options. I would suggest that she either consider a V10 Excursion (less fussy about deferred maintenance than a diesel) or an Expedition. The Expedition is far more car-like to drive than the Excursion, a lot easier to park, and moves more easily with the 5.4 than the heavier Excursion.

If she absolutely needs a lot of cargo room, than a Suburban would probably be a better fit than either Ford.

LOL She needs to be in a Suburban. That's typical of many people that buy on and had not bussiness with one, and to top it off, bought one with a 5.4?
